I use Sagarin generally because this is how I set it up years ago and at the time I felt like it was generally considered one of the better ranking systems. I have no analysis of its predictive ability versus KenPom or Massey or BPI or any others. Additionally, since last year, the baseline forecasted RPI's that are inputted into the model (for tiebreaker purposes) are from rpiforecast.com and they use Sagarin's predictor rankings as well to derive those figures.
